About Kara
Kara Fedore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who brings eight years of practice to her sessions. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and the fallout from trauma. Her style is straightforward and compassionate and she aims to make therapy feel like a manageable weekly investment in yourself.
Kara uses a client-centered approach and adapts methods to each person's needs. She commonly draws from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing.
Background and approach
She prefers short-term, practical steps alongside deeper work when needed. In a session she helps people name problems, set realistic goals, and try concrete skills between meetings. She also supports those coping with life transitions, caregiving fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, and family of origin issues.
Conversations tend to focus on what feels most urgent to the client. Kara acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out and values steady, nonjudgmental support. She encourages small goals and celebrates progress along the way.
If someone is unsure where to begin, she offers a collaborative starting point and helps map a path forward. Her work includes attention to substance use, codependency, body image, fertility concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and career or life-purpose questions. Sessions aim to be practical, calm, and focused on the next right step.

Online support
How Kara’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering a supportive listening style that helps people clarify goals and feel heard. It is useful when someone needs space to process decisions, grief, or relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress when a person wants concrete tools to try between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address memories and reactions tied to past painful events. In sessions it can help reduce the intensity of troubling memories and the reactions that come with them.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try methods together and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays relevant to their needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls approximate in-person conversation, phone sessions can fit a work break or need less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging lets someone reflect in writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to find what works best.
